Holiday cottages, self-catering accommodation in Leicestershire, UK

Leicestershire in the Midlands is not a county of England that is normally associated with family holidays. People do not boast that they are spending two weeks in Leicestershire in the same way as if they were going to Cornwall. That is partly because the various delights of Leicestershire are not as well known and there are not any beaches.

However, some of the things that Leicestershire has to offer are:

• Self catering holidays with fishing. Rent a cottage or a log cabin beside a fishing lake or river for a truly unhurried and relaxing break.
• Rutland Water is a brilliant location for watersports such as sailing. A flat cycle path around the reservoir is perfect for safe family cycling. There are numerous interconnected cycle paths in Leicestershire - perfect for getting around the countryside.
• Visit historic towns such as Stamford which features in many period dramas. There is a high density of preserved historic buildings and several antique shops. The stately home at Burghley Park has a large deer park and annual horse trials.
• Melton Mowbray, home of the pork pie, is a interesting town to visit, as is Grantham, Market Deeping and various small villages.
